@NASAAdmin @johnkrausphotos @NASA_Johnson @NASAKennedy It would be great if we knew what was going on, I tried for 20 minutes earlier to find any type of updates and it’s impossible. You guys have no coverage, no YouTube channel. No update line… It sucks and nobody knows what’s happening.

Artemis II astronauts are doing great. The Orion spacecraft is performing well in an impressive elliptical orbit, and the @NASA_Johnson Mission Control team is taking good care of the crew. Meanwhile, back at @NASAKennedy, the teams are out at the pad getting ready for what comes next. We are going to get into a rhythm of launching Moon rockets around here 🇺🇸

Huh? .. it’s reported that McMillan cancer advise that straight white citizens … will be treated as less worthy. They will prioritise access to its welfare advice for gay, transgender and ethnic minority cancer patients. You know what to do 💣

@emilytiptop @AndrewKaufmanMD Clearly the US education system doesn't teach people the basics of simple research. But sure, it's easier to believe the lies than take 2 mins to find out the truth

Andrew Kaufman MD@AndrewKaufmanMD·
The UK is the testing ground for 15-minute cities, with Oxford being the first area to test the new program. The idea is simple: you stay in your zone and live your life. You get 100 days a year to travel freely; otherwise, you are fined. If you live outside of Oxford, you can come inside for $25 a day. When I talked about Flock cameras and the surveillance state, this is what we want to prevent—the state believing it can control your every move and fine you if you don’t go along with its program. Everyone should reject this plan. Leave as often as you can. Let Parliament know they don’t own you and do not have power over where and when you travel. The more people who comply with these ridiculous rules, the less control you will have over your life. Stay focused.

@Lastmercian1 @AndrewKaufmanMD You're based in Switzerland, so you definitely didn't vote in any of the many elections since it was proposed to limit travel on 6 roads. The people who actually live in Oxford on the other hand...

@AndrewKaufmanMD As no one voted for this and that it was not part of any parties manifesto, as tax payers we should have the right to remove or disable the infrastructure to protect our freedoms.

@AndrewKaufmanMD @GrahamBridge3 I didn’t know the 100 days would, no doubt, include anyone leaving an area, for say their holidays? For each day? That’s terrible. It cannot work in rural areas at all when something critical, eg. hospital appointments or family visits are involved. The whole idea is sinister.

Bruce Springsteen owns 400 acres in Dirty Jersey worth 28 million bucks. His last concert he called ICE the Gestapo, that they should gtfo of Minneapolis. He dedicated his song The Promised Land to the memory of Renee Good. I think we can all agree it’s time he puts his money where his big foul mouth is. He’s pissed this meme is circulating on the internet. You know what to do …🤷‍♀️

@Mike_Fabricant So NATO is dead. The whole point of NATO is an attack on one is an attack on all. If Trump will only defend the territory of a NATO country if he owns it, then he won't honour Article 5.

Michael Fabricant 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦
Although he may be blunt, I believe that Trump is right. The High North could easily become a conflict zone and Greenlanders know Denmark is in no position to defend Greenland even with NATO help. Most Greenlanders want independence, but prefer Denmark not because they speak Danish (they don’t), it’s because of health care provision. Contrary to popular belief in Europe, some States, like Massachusetts, offer good State healthcare and if Greenland were to become a State or Territory of 🇺🇸, Greenland could choose to have the same provision with Federal subsidies. No Greenlander wants to be Russian or Chinese.
Michael Fabricant 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦@Mike_Fabricant

President Trump via TruthSocial: “We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”

@2238SF @SandyofSuffolk No, it's nowhere close to what a bunch of grifters are claiming for engagement. Stabbing deaths in the US are 50 times higher than in the UK. No one is being locked up for voicing mere opinions on social media The cost of living is higher in the US than the UK (still too high)

@SandyofSuffolk As an American I’m following from afar and it seems out of control. Is it really as bad as I’ve read or seen? Is there a civil war on the horizon? Unfortunately the British citizens will be fighting with pitchforks having been cleverly disarmed many years ago.

We are the laughing stock of the world. I've had emails from family and friends in Australia and Canada. I've spoken to a German friend in Stuttgart. People I've spoken to in Tenerife. Nobody can believe how ridiculous our government are and how they don't care about putting us in danger. I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be British.

@northernassist @TransportForAll Which i did. But was sold a peak return and not an offpeak return like i have been sold every other time. I want a refund of the excessive fare your guard charged me for not being able to access the machine (We're going round in circles now)

@northernassist @TransportForAll Yes, i know. I live there. Once again, how do you expect a customer to buy a ticket if you have no signs indicating where the machine is, and the only one you do provide is only accessible via stairs? PS, there is no ticket office, correct your literature

@northernassist You are actively discriminating against people with accessibility issues by failing to provide access to services then penalising them. @TransportForAll, another example of barriers. Need to use stairs to access ticket machine then charged more cos you can't

@Gus_preston If a customer is unable to use the machine for any reason it is best to inform the conductor before asking or the ticket. I can only speak with you using social media platforms, if you wish to use another method please call 0800 200 6060 or email complaints@northernrailway.co.uk

@northernassist And how does someone who is unable to use the subway get to the other platform? How is someone to know there is a ticket machine on the other platform as there is no signs. Take this as a formal complaint. DM me for my contact details

@russellquirk Inflation has fallen, but I agree it is misleading and making it out like it’s something amazingly good, when in reality things are just getting bad less quickly. The previous government did the exact same thing though.

Our Chancellor doesn’t know how inflation works. She says here it’s ‘fallen’. Prices have not dropped. They have RISEN by 3.2%. The rate of INCREASE has eased however it’s still 50% higher than the Bank’s target.
Rachel Reeves@RachelReevesMP

I know families across Britain who are worried about the cost of living will welcome this fall in inflation. But there is more to do. That is why at the Budget we froze rail fares and prescription charges and will be cutting £150 off the average energy bill next year.
